Sixers Trim Roster to 15

It looks like this will be our Philadelphia 76ers roster come opening night (Oct. 31, in Toronto).

Andre Iguodala

Andre Miller

Samuel Dalembert

Reggie Evans

Willie Green

Rodney Carney

Kyle Korver

Lou Williams

Jason Smith

Herbert Hill

Thaddeus Young

Loius Amundson

Calvin Booth

Kevin Ollie

Shavlik Randolph

Notably absent from the list is Derrick Byars. The #42 pick in this year's draft was cut loose by the Sixers today after appearing in only one preseason game. Byars missed significant time because a back injury. I guess this was the best move the team could make to trim the number of "swing" men on the roster. Green, Carney, Thad Young, Korver and probably Lou Williams will all see some time at the 2/3 alongside Iguodala. Mo Cheeks hasn't decided on his starting lineup yet, but I keep hearing the words Willie Green and starter in the same sentence. That's not exactly encouraging news.

It looks like Dalembert will play in one of the two remaining preseason games (against the Knicks and Nets), if he's healthy for opening night, this would be my starting lineup...
